The improvement of environmental awareness emerges issues on new technology leading to environmentally friendly technology. One of the said technologies is electric vehicle (EV) technology. EV brings zero emission concepts as the positive result of electric motor propulsion system. Zero emission concepts in this term can be applied not only in a built-in EV but also in converting a fossil fueled vehicle into its electric version. Considering financial curb and the available choices of new vehicles, vehicle conversion becomes an effective investment alternative in line with vehicle utility purpose. Just like EVs, the electric vehicle conversion performance requirements depend on few targets which are trip distance, speed and cost. The electric vehicle conversion based on daily trip distance can be designed according to the required battery capacity. The capacity of the battery divided by the average of energy consumption of each kilometer can be used to predict the range distance from fully to low charged of EV batteries. Speed target depends on the electric motor power used. When more speed is needed then more power is needed from electric motor. The electric motor power affects voltage and current specification required. Hence, affects the battery specifications. Increasing the battery voltage can increase the electric motor power, instead reduces the battery maximum current. One of the problems of electric vehicle conversion is the cost. Cost target is the boundaries that appear in addition to technical limits. Optimization of the mileage and speed can be affected by the cost target. The cost effectiveness is also an impact on the determination of EV conversion performance requirements based on the trip distance and speed. About 20-50% of EV conversion cost is the battery. It depends on battery type used. Therefore when requirement of EV conversion is based on cost it is better to start with determining the battery then the required drive components.
